Manifest Destiny - Freedom City Part 2 by LaurenRivers (critique requested)

Manifest Destiny - Freedom City Part 2 (critique requested)

LaurenRivers

From the back jacket
Reach for the Stars!

Freedom City is a metropolis founded upon dreams, a place created by men and women who believe that there are limits neither to what forms humanity can take nor that which it can achieve. Here, it’s of little consequence whether a person is a five foot walking rabbit, a beautiful tigress, or a consciousness floating free inside a machine.

Consisting of a series of platforms built above the sparkling Caribbean, Freedom City is in many ways an entirely new world dedicated to promoting innovation and freeing the human spirit. Despite its admitted warts the City has become Earth’s economic and technological beacon, standing head and shoulders above second-best.

Second best, however, is less than thrilled at all of this. In fact, they’re rather frightened of being left behind. In this final chapter of the Freedom City series, the world is questioning whether or not it can tolerate freedom and success on such an epic scale. So instead of being left in peace to run his bunny themed casino Harvey Foote finds himself not only dealing with an international crisis…

… but waging a ware for the soul of all mankind.

My Thoughts so far –.
Manifest Destiny sets itself up to be a story of conflicting ideologies, of one side unafraid to move forward, and the other terrified of where that might lead. Humanity has always been afraid of what it does not understand, and this book looks to be an exploration of that time tested theme of history. Reading the first book is recommended, but not essential. Featuring returning characters Harvey Foote, Felix Morris, and Stripes McKee, the second story looks to be an exciting follow up to the first. The back jacket sets up the basic story and all you need to know without giving away too much.

Overall:

This is a thoroughly enjoyable book. It raises several questions about issues of freedom and liberty, and personal responsibility. A well told tale for the general audience, there is something here for everyone to enjoy. All of the characters are well developed and work together in concert to create an overall remarkable narrative experience.

A multitalented work of adventure, drama, and just the right amount of scifi, it presents a story you’ll want to read over and over again. While not without flaw, it sets the bar for furry writing high to which other writers I would recommend look to this for inspiration.
